What's the easiest way to get to the centrifugal filter so I can clean out the crud? I don't have a jack.

You need to invest in a cheap trolley jack - £20 - as the only real way to clean it out properly is to remove the rear panel and to do that you need to support the engine as the engine mount bolts to it. It's easy enough to remove and once removed it's a doddle to clean  :D
